“My 30s? I don’t know what will happen!”

Actress IU, taking off her oversized black jumper, sat on a chair with a good posture, wearing a beige knit with a clean, colorless face. His voice was a little quiet, but he smiled and said, “I’m in very good condition.”

On the 20th of last month, IU was interviewed for the movie 'Dream' (directed by Lee Byung-hun) at a cafe in Sogyeok-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

On this day, IU sincerely answered the reporter's questions while recalling her memories of 'Dream', which was filmed four years ago. 'Dream', in which IU plays So-min, a passionate documentary producer, depicts the process of a ragtag group of homeless people competing against former national team coach Hong Dae (played by Park Seo-joon) in order to participate in the Homeless World Cup. It is an adaptation of the true story of the 2010 Homeless World Cup, in which Korea participated for the first time.

Regarding this movie, IU said, " It's a warm movie . It's fast-moving and has a lot of interesting elements. I thought it was a heartfelt and warm movie. The harmony was good."

He said that he couldn't get close to his co-star, Park Seo-joon, even when filming. IU said she had a level of intimacy with Park Seo-joon that was similar to that of a character in a movie. We didn't become close friends during filming, but we became closer when we got back together for a recent promotion 4 years later.

IU said , "I didn't talk to Park Seo-joon much, but I think that tension helped me when filming," and "He was so good to me that I could say I benefited a lot from all the scenes I filmed with Park Seo-joon." I saw.

“I received a lot of help from actor Park Seo-joon with his reactions. I remember being amazed at every scene. The screenplay was much longer than mine, and there must have been a lot of difficult times. Well, rather than saying a lot, he just maintained a healthy energy on a daily basis. “There he was. I thought he was a really good person.”

Regarding director Lee Byung-hun, he laughed and said that he had not yet become close to him. Other than filming, there weren't many personal conversations.

"Actually, I've never had a big conversation with the director. I was the only female actor. I think the director treated me cautiously. He didn't talk to me much, and I thought, 'I guess he has a lot to think about.' There were times when I had questions, but I held back. Haha. We didn't have a big conversation, but he definitely explained the acting part clearly. I think he's a pleasant person to watch from afar."

IU smiled at director Lee, saying, "Although the director's work is a comedy, there is a certain cynicalness to it. I think the director's personality itself is like that."

IU debuted as a singer in her teens and is now in her 30s. IU also shared her thoughts while looking back on her past, present, and future. Still at the age of youth. Since we don't know what time will come in our 30s, expectations are high.

"When I was in my teens, I was just getting started, so I felt like I was lost and couldn't figure out where to go. In my 20s, I think I grew much more musically. So I put the stories and messages I wanted to say into my music and produced it. And I also started acting. 30 What? I don't know. I don't know what will happen."

Although IU has achieved many things in the past, there are still many things she wants to do and can do. The words “I don’t know what will happen” were filled with anticipation, not fear, about the unknown future.
